Shifting Sands - Paperback

by Jana Markowitz (Author), William Berghel (Author)

This book identifies the many people-skills a project manager needs to make a project successful. While traditional project management training teaches the phases and processes of planning and executing a project, it barely mentions the people skills required to make the project successful. Shifting Sands explains how to build and use people skills during a project, giving real world examples and letting the reader learn from the authors' mistakes instead of their own. Co-authors Bill Berghel, PMP and Jana Markowitz, MS Organizational Psychology, have over 40 years of project management experience between them. For almost any situation a project manager could face, Bill and Jana have "been there, done that" and provide a funny story to illustrate their point. Shifting Sands provides guidance, explanations and how-to's from which even experienced project managers and business leaders will benefit.
